Another great opportunity In this case getting into the definition of #regenerative Following on from BBC Radio 4 Food Programme Regen is about outcomes Regenerating some form of natural capital (like soil health) which can then be leveraged for farming, on an ongoing basis 🤓

Silicon is the 2nd most abundant mineral in Earth’s crust, yet it's widely underutilized in agriculture and crop nutrition. Silicon supplementation can reduce pesticide reliance by 30–50% even replacing them is some cases while improving crop yields and vigor. Here's how:

Another great day looking at arable soils And how we can learn about the root causes of issues that affect the farming calendar (pun intended) Fixing soil WILL improve the bottomline (though not necessarily going to yield) Those wet winters are no sweat, with healthy soil

Looking forward to doing more efficacy demonstration work at Bank this coming year And being part of Bank's ongoing development

Great to be able to share thoughts on the definition of regen for example Following on from The Food Programme My def is focused around outcomes Regeneration of natural capital (eg soil health) For the direct benefit of the producer Either improving yields or reducing costs/losses
